00:00 The United States is set to hold its 47 presidential elections in 2024.
00:11 The Grand Old Party, or Republicans, are fairly certain of the chances of retaking White House
00:16 while Democrats are hurting from US President Joe Biden's declining approval ratings.
00:22 There is just one year until the presidential elections and some well-known figures have
00:25 already declared their intention to run.
00:28 Things are relatively quiet in the Democratic Party, however, that is not the case with
00:31 the Republicans.
00:33 Republicans are engaged in a fierce struggle to choose their nominee for president.
00:37 Several leaders still wish to give it a shot even though Republican voters are fighting
00:41 Trump to be the most appealing candidate.
00:43 Nikki Haley and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis are expected to square off in first-ever Republican
00:48 primary debate, which is to schedule occurs soon.
00:51 The Republican primary may be dominated by Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley's growing rivalry
00:55 as they attempt to position themselves as the party's strongest rival who can take on
01:00 Trump.
01:01 Haley, who is aged 51, is currently ranked third nationally, however, she is gaining
01:06 ground on Ron DeSantis, who is just far behind Trump in Republican race.
01:11 The debate starts in Miami at around 8pm ET on Thursday.
01:16 For the unaware, Ron DeSantis has been attacking Haley for weeks, largely on foreign policy.
01:22 Two days ago, Ron DeSantis lambasted Haley for wearing high heels, accusing her of attempting
01:26 to match his height.
01:28 Nikki Haley, in return, refused to acknowledge the claim and stressed by such claims Ron
01:32 DeSantis just portrays himself that he is not fit to run for president.
01:35 Furthermore, both make an effort to establish themselves as a legitimate opponent of Donald
01:40 Trump.
01:41 That is the second favorite tag for the Republican Party.
01:45 In a memo released on Monday, Haley's campaign asserted that she is now the party's top contender
01:49 aside from Trump, pointing her competitive advantage in South Carolina, her home state
01:54 which is hosting primary in February as well as Iowa and New Hampshire.
01:59 In a memo, Betsy Acne, Haley's campaign manager, claims that even if DeSantis performs well
02:04 in Iowa, he has no intention of winning the nomination.
02:08 In response, the DeSantis campaign responded by releasing a memo in which they claimed
02:12 that only they could stop Trump's unstoppable march towards the nomination by defeating
02:17 Haley in Iowa.
02:19 This makes it abundantly evident that Haley and DeSantis' rivalry has grown more intense.
02:24 Nevertheless, it remains to be seen if the rivalry will benefit them anyway.
02:28 Republicans continue to favor Donald Trump over other candidates.
02:31 According to a poll, if Trump and Biden face off directly just like the 2020 presidential
02:36 elections, Trump could win easily by a margin of 10 points.
02:40 In addition, a resounding 52% of the GOP voters backed Trump's bid for president.
02:45 However, Haley and DeSantis are vying to succeed Trump.
02:49 The question of whether they will succeed or not still stands.
02:52 Let's wait for the debate to begin.
